Mr.. Beecher's Prompt Approval

H. W. Ripley, of Portland, Maine,
who has passed forty-nine summers
in the White Mountains, tells story
about Henry Ward Beecher. Mr..
Beecher once drove passenger
wagon from the Twin to the Craw-
ford, just for fun. In turning around
his team became tangled up and his
wagon bid fair to tip, when Port
land and Ogdensburg conductor look
ing out of chamber window of the
hotel, shouted: "Let go your lead
els, you - old fool"
That's good advice, young man."
was Mr.. Beecher's calm reply, as he
followed it.

The Weakest Part.

It is general principle that local
disease attacks the weakest part of
the unfortunate victim at the time he
may be exposed to tho attack. This
may be more satisfactory to the
tbeorist than to the sufferer. The
latter has often asked, "But why
should that part be weaker than any
otEer?" That is wise remedy that
tends to strengthen all the weaker
parts, and thus enable them not only
20 cast off the disease. but guard
them from the encroachments of other
diseases.
For this purpose the Compound
Oxygen has no equal. If you wish
to know more of this treatment, you

ALIVE Passenger Agent.

There are very few Island people who
travel abroad who do not know Mr.. T.
d. Mckay, the genial Pacific Coast pas
senger agent whose headquarters are in
San Francisco. He meets every steamer
from the islands and personally super
intends passengers baggage through the
customs, finds hotel accommodation and
then books them to any point they wish
to 90 to. He also gives them letters of
introduction to conductors and hotels en-
route, and also telegraphs to the agents
at changing points to look after their
welfare What more than this could
anyone wish for? Travelling under the
direction of such an agent is a luxury.
Hundreds of island people have from
time to time testified to the courteous
treatment they have received from Mr..
Mckay. To all the passengers leaving
by the Australia to-day we would say, if
you are going further than San Fran
cisco, consult Mr.. Mckay Immediately
on arrival.

Disqualification Section OF the Con-
StifUtiOH.

Ed. z. G.. ADvERTIsER-Sir: The
Judges of the Supreme Court, to whom
the matter was referred, have decided
that Notaries Public and Agents to re-
ceive Acknowledgements are disqualified
for election to the Legislature. But
there are other officers of the Govern
ment who appear to stand on the same
ground as the foregoing whose case is
not mentioned. Are the following not
also disqualified, viz: District Post
masters, Commissioners of Boundaries,
Appraisers of land subject to Govern
ment Communication, agents to grant
marriage licenses, members of Board of
Inspection for suppression of disease
among animals, school agents and vol
unteer officers? These several classes
of officials appear to stand on the same
ground as agents to take acknowledge
ments and notaries public. 1t is an
open question also whether members of
the volunteer corps are not likewise dis
qualified from election They sunques-
tionably derive direct pecuniary benefit
from the Government in the remission
of taxes, and receiving three suits of uni
form at Government expense. The OBJ
ject of the disqualification provision in
the new Constitution was to have a
purely non-official Legislature. There
is no reason, therefore, why the policy
and express language of the Constitu-
ton should not be fully carried into eff
feet. Already several nominations
have been made within the prohibited
degrees" OF citizenship, and if the points
raised in this letter are referred to the
Supreme Court as Well it might tend to
prevent future complications Yours,

Fraser River, the way TO the western

Well. you just go and look at one, and you

peelauy in the ease Of a big ocean steamer.
This has got 70 be counted ia wien the
question OF time is being considered.
Letus see why we should not be in too
great a hurry 10 drop the American or
United States service. Have you ever
taken into thought what California is
worth to US, to New South Wales, COM
nerclauy? I suppose not. Well, take the
shipping that comes from England 10 sgd
new About 20 per cent of it q m not
talking Of mail steamers now, but ships}
finds a return freight TO Great Britain.
But neither the freight out or that home is
very remunerative, such is the competi-
ton and 50 low are these freights cut now.
Another % per cent goes hunting the
nearest parts OF the world tor freight, and
the remaining go per cent takes our New
South Wales coal from Newcastle 10 Cali
fornia. and gets the most payable freight
age of all from there TO England with
wheat. So that you see commercially the
Californian connection is worth something
to US. It's worth the great export of our
coal that finds a market there. Then
there Is the wool trade.
But the Americans are sensitive peo-
pie, and remember that the United States
and its people are of rather more import
ance in the world than Australia and its
people. Swop our Californian mail line
for the Canadian, and you Will give the
Yankee a slap on the face that won't help
to make them feel pleasant towards us.
Now. all these things are worth speaking
about, and [ tell them to you since you
asked me for some opinions about that
telegram.
